Ministerial Inconsistency.

LONDON, April 1.-The Neps says
The land bill introduced by Lord Cado-
gan in the House of Lords yesterday
evening convicts the Ministry of the
grossest inconsistency and entirely jus.
tifies Parnell's action during last aut.
umn's session of Parliament. The first
thing that rikes readers of Lord Cado.
gan's speech is that. inadequate as the
bill may be, it entirely dispenses with
the necessity for coercion, or rather il
would if the necessity existed. Balfour
argues that an illegal combination pre-
vents tenants in Ireland from paying
their rents. Lord Cadogan formally ad-
mits that tenants are evicted for not
paying impossible rents.

SIN q Minute


The following letter appeared recently in
the poStoflice box of Harper's Young People.
As it was directed to no one in particular,
but seems to have been written for the great
majority of young folk, space is given to it in
this column in the hope that it will reach the
rightful owner:
/ will mention no names, but there are some
children of my acquaintance who try even
my patience by the answer, ain a minute"
They are called. Papa is standing at the
door, or mamma has her bonnet on, and de-
sires to say a word before going out, but
these busy grown people are obliged to wait
until it pleases jamie and Johnny to attend
to them. Johnny is repairing his ball,
and thinks he cannot stop till he has fastened
his knot; jamie is finishing her map, and has
Just begun putting the rivers in. Each hon.
estly intends coming ain a minute" but the
minute often stretches away to five or ten.
The parents are displeased and inconven-
fenced, and everything becomes uncomfort-
able.
Did you ever watch company of soldiers
OF their drill? You must have observed the
beautiful precision of their movements.
When the captain says "Haltl" they stop on
the instant-the whole company just like one
man. When he orders "Advancei" how
promptly every foot obeys. "Ground arms!"
and the muskets ring as they fall. Now what
sort of drill would those fellows have if here
and there along the lines soldier should re-
ply, "In a minute" when the command came
to "Advancel" or to "HaltI"
l wish you would think of yourselves as
soldiers with daily drill, part of which
should be to obey the word of command
promptly. Nobody can compel You to obey
by force half SO easily as you can compel
yourselves Resolve never to say ain a
minute" when you are wanted, but always to
be on time, answering whenever you are
called just as they did in the old Bible days,

THE CIvET.

This odoriferous fluid is secreted in a cavity
or pocket. 1t is extracted from the animal
once q week, while it is firmly attached to
cage by means of strong chains. A small
spoon is introduced into the pocket and the
precious perfume is withdrawn with care.
Hundreds of these animals are kept in cap
tivity on the outskirts of Abyssinia and sup
ply the world with civet
There are, says Science News, from which
the above was taken, two distinct varieties of
the wonderful beasts. The Viverra civetta,
or true civet, is peculiar to Abyssinia and the
southern division Of Africa, where it is vul-
carly known by the name of musk cat. 1t
may be distinguished by its projecting teeth,
small and piercing eyes and short, rounded
ears. The hair is long and thin, the color
varying from grayish black to light gray,
darker on the back, where it forms an erectile
name, Its flattened sides are brindled with
black, irregular stripes. 1t is bloodthirsty
animal, and is an object Of fear and abhor-
renee in this region, although it rarely moves
abroad during the day, but passes the hours
Of light and heat in slothful slumber, hidden
from prying eyes. The Viverra zibetha of
India and the Philippine islands differs in no
essential particulars save its short and thick
hair and much longer neck; the description
of one may serve for that, with this single
variation. In many ways the civet resem-
bles both the jaguar and the cat, the latter
especially in disposition and size.

Mexican Irideseent Ware.

At Patzcuaro we found by chance, for
it was rot displayed for sale, something
that interested US more than anything else
made in Mexico. This was a true rides
cent ware. The specimens we obtained
were small round and rectangular plates.
The luster is the true Saracenic, Alhambra
or Cubic luster, the real iridescence,
shimmering, shifting colors in changing
lights, ruby, green, blue. Would it not
be singular IL this lost art were preserved
in Mexicof Tho ware is rude. The MAX
ers of it have not the certainty of produc-
ing a particular color in picture which
distinguishes n Cubic work, and 1t lacks
the elegance and the glaze, the solidity and
flneness, of the Alhambra tiles. But it is
genuine iridescence. Tho plates are cx-
ceedingly thin and brittle. The luster
seems to be metallic, of copper, and the
effect TO be produced by subjecting the
ware to an exceedingly Neutrality-suspicious.,

disintegrated, and has lost its ringing
quality. Dudley Warner in Har-

Loose Jackets and sratinees.

Very pretty loose jackets and matinees,
says The Season, are being worn in the
country and at the seashore, trimmed with
beautiful embroidery worked with ingram
cotton in various colors, japanese, Russian
and Bulgarian embroidery carrying off the
palm. On some of these jackets the embroid-
cry Is executed on the material itself, while
on others it is made on bands of the same. A
dainty effect is given to the front by pleating
1t in the center and fastening down at the
side under broad band of embroidery. The
sleeves are very often pleated-also gathered
into a deep worked band to harmonic, and
the high pleated collar finished off with small
coquettish bows
Matinees, for indoor wear, are composed OF
very beautiful stuffs and trimmed in a most
elaborate manner. Favored materials are:
plush, faille, surah, figured silk and foulard,
and for the trimmings the richest laces are
chosen. On the pleated skirt the Ornaments
ton often consists of pleatings and small
frills OF the same texture and lace, OF it Is en-
tirely of lace and ribbon run through the
latter, finished off ON one side with small
hanging bows.
The jacket worn with this reaches down q
little below the skirt trimming, and must be
decorated to correspond.
Tho front is made as a rule with a plastron
Of same kind, and therefore open, yet dag
onal fastenings are also in good taste. The
plastron either forms pulled front by being
gathered or pleated, and drawn in by strings
at the waist, or it is of a scarf shape, arranged
in irregular folds, and combines jabot and
panier draperies, the lower part being caught
up with bow or ribbon rosette.
Tasteful dressing gowns are made Of fine,
soft, colored wooden materials with yokes,
upright collars and cuffs of dark plush or
velvet. The front is arranged below the yoke
in large pleats falling straight down to the
feet, and the back and sides fit tight to the
figure as far as the waist AT tine back the
skirt is draped in graceful punched style,
while at the side it is caught up lightly in folds
Very stylish dressing gowns have open
fronts filled in with gathered lace or soft silk
stuff, kept in place by pointed Swiss band
Of the same material. Princess shapes are
also worn, yet only the front of the gown is:
made in one piece; the back is cut short and
rounded, ard the back breadths mounted full
on this.
